If just tried new VMware-Image (OpenSuse 11.0, Mono 2.0) and run a small
application that i developed with .NET (Windows XP, Visual Studio 2008). This
application uses the System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping class to ping an
computer (default gateway) in the local network. Using the Ping-class under
Mono throws an exception (see below), so I tried the overloaded Send()-Methods
of the Ping-class to get around the exception, but i get diffrent results. 

Using Send(byte[]) returns a PingReply with IPStatus.Success, while the
Send(string) throws an exception.

The VM has internet connection and i can ping the host system (using shell).
Host system can ping the VM, too.

I´ve read somewhere that Ping under Linux, works diffrently than on Windows,
so i don´t know if its a bug.

Here´s the code:

using System;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
using System.Net;

namespace pingtest {
  class MainClass{
    public static void Main(string[] args){
      Ping p = new System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping();
      byte[] ip = new byte[4]{192,168,73,110};  //ip of default gateway         
      //IPHostEntry entry = Dns.GetHostEntry(new IPAddress(ip));
      //Console.WriteLine(entry.HostName);

      PingReply reply = p.Send(new IPAddress(ip));
      Console.WriteLine(reply.Status.ToString());
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(reply.Status == IPStatus.Success);

      reply = p.Send("192.168.73.110");  // ip of default gateway
      Console.WriteLine(reply.Status.ToString());
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(reply.Status == IPStatus.Success);
    }
  }
}

Output:
Success
